The Prospector's Tool allows a miner to increase the level of ore found in a particular area by one level. For example, if a mining location yields Verite, the use of this tool will cause Valorite to be the result. Think of it as an ore vein upgrade. The tool can be used in combination with the Gargoyle's Pickaxe to raise a vein two levels (e.g., Agapite to Valorite).
